Dictator-n-Thief Baracrook Hugochávezian Øfascist berates and bullies us with "I've got a pen!"

The former, entreating us to preserve, protect, and defend everyone's liberties, told us, "With this faith"—

we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.... "From every mountainside, let freedom ring."

The fascist, threatening to run roughshod over everyone's liberties, tells us, "With this pen"—

I can sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure [I inveigle enough gullible voters with promises of more "free" stuff in order to unduly expand my party's hold on power].

We have a nightmare on our hands so long as this tyrant "thinks" feels yes he can continue to unconstitutionally wield that pen in his clinched fist.

What Ødespot's knowingly and willfully neglected to tell you, however, is that our Founding Fathers had the pen first; and with it they wrote in our Constitution that "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States" and the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Our Constitution doesn't vest in him any power to "move the ball forward" as if he were the Congress or some RepreSenator-in-Chief™. Nowhere in it is he or his vindictive, tyrannical regime allowed to do anything not expressly allowed under its provisions or by duly-enacted law. Nor is he allowed to sign anything that sounds, looks, or smells like a law unless both houses of Congress have passed it.

No usurper-n-thief or his lawless branch will ever have any hope of fundamentally transforming that.
